Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was withdrawn from Sweden’s UEFA Nations League win over Turkey because of illness.
The centre-back was taken off at half-time during the 1-0 victory in Konya on Saturday and replaced by Filip Helander.
Sweden head coach Janne Andersson said: “Victor did not feel well but he finished the first half.
“Then Filip came on and did not make a mistake, so Filip played very well.”
Lindelof’s team-mate Andreas Granqvist told Swedish newspaper SportExpressen: “I think he felt a little bad before the match and felt a bit dizzy when he started.
“He felt drowsy and without energy and could not continue.”
Victor Lindelof has been an ever present alongside Chris Smalling in the Red Devils defence and recently won the Swedish footballer of the year.
